two driver in a race in belgium. five people have been shot dead and 21 others injured after a gunman opened fire from a vehicle in the us state of texas. it happened on a road between the towns of midland and odessa. the gunman has been shot dead by the police. our north america correspondent, peter bowes, has this update. the latest information is that the police believe although it is not definitely confirmed, but they believe that this gunman was acting alone. since he was tackled and killed by the police, there have been no further reports of shooting. at one stage, there was concern, in fact, many reports that there could be a number of gunmen responsible for what was happening. it seemed like multiple shootings over quite a wide area. it seems now it may simply have been

the work of this one gunman, and the police are stressing that this information that they are giving us could still change. it's a fluid situation, they are still checking out reports and making sure that the area is safe. what we do know is that 21 people have been injured, it's not entirely certain that they were all shot. some of those people might have been hurt in the confusion. they were driving vehicles, they might have been injured simply trying to get away from the scene. so what isn't quite known yet is the precise number of people who were shot. and as i say, the investigation into the circumstances is continuing. yeah, it's very sad, but this is by far not the first mass shooting in texas. what's the response been to this latest one? well, the response is that this is another shooting tragedy, this is yet more gun violence, it is just a few short

weeks since the shooting in el paso, it seems rather different circumstances, nevertheless, it was a mass shooting. and, of course, once again, people are talking about gun control, there was a tremendous amount of debate after the last spate of shootings just a few weekends ago and calls for tougher restrictions on guns and a lot of politicians at a very senior level, including president trump, responding to that, but in that time, there has been no significant action and no real sign of anything constructive happening that will change the laws as they apply to gun ownership, and background checks, which is one of the key issues. let's get some of the day's other news. the taliban says it carried out a suicide bombing in afghanistan which killed at least 10 people. the attack in kunduz followed hours of fighting which began when the militants attacked from several directions. dozens of militants were killed

when the government responded with air strikes. emmanuel macron has spoken by phone to the president of iran. the elysee palace said the french president reminded hassan rouhani of the need for iran to comply with its nuclear obligations. however, state media in iran says president rouhani told president macron that iran would reduce its commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal — if europe doesn't live up to its own undertakings. the us military says it has carried out an attack on al-qaeda militants in the rebel—held syrian province of idlib. reports from the region said more than a0 people were killed in a missile strike that targeted a meeting of leaders ofjihadist factions. police in france say a young man has died and several other people have been injured in a stabbing in a suburb of lyon. it's thought police are hunting for another man, carrying a metal spike, who is believed to have fled the scene. riot police have stormed a metro station in hong kong, using batons to beat passengers, in the latest round of clashes, with pro democracy campaigners.

the authorities confirmed that two officers fired live rounds into the air, during operations to clear protestors from the streets. beijing has condemned the protests, asjohn sudworth reports now, from hong kong. tear gas from the roof of hong kong's government offices met with utter defiance. hong kong's political deadlock is growing increasingly violent. the only way, some now believe, to secure this city's freedoms under chinese rule. by nightfall, this giant fire was raging in the central business district. but with scenes like these, china is also in no mood to compromise. hu xijin is editor of one of beijing's ultra—loyal communist party—run papers. translation: america and britain are interfering in hong kong's affairs.

you are inflaming the situation. not all these irrational emotions come from this society. most come from foreign support. but most protesters are peaceful. despite the risk of arrest, this unauthorised march earlier in the day was joined by thousands. despite what beijing says... as well as one british mp here to observe, he says. big changes happening in the world, and we need to understand them. i know we're all obsessed by brexit, but we've got the growing power of china and we've also got a growing authoritarian china as well. are you meddling? no. and if one mp is going to get blamed for this, that's simply nonsense, no. and this is clearly an indigenous protest that's coming from the people here. a few hundred activists, though, are intent on violence. and for the first time, the police used water cannon with coloured dye

to make identifying them easier. even a few weeks ago, this is the very centre of hong kong, and look at it. they warned them not to protest today. the government buildings under siege, and it's complete mayhem. the day ended with running battles spilling into the subway stations. a global clash of values. freedom versus stability and control is being played out in this city in increasingly brutal form. a powerful storm threatening the bahamas and south—eastern coast of the united states is due to make landfall in the caribbean later on sunday. hurricane dorian, which is currently a category four storm, has maximum sustained winds of 240 kilometres per hour. heavy rain and severe storm surges are also forecast. gareth barlow reports.

seen from space, hurricane dorian is sizing through the atlantic ocean to with this forms path varying communities from florida to carolinas and georgia are preparing. that it will hit the bahamas first. they will get absolutely levelled by this thing because it is a strong storm. the bahamas are flat, they have no defence against this storm and it will churn over there, dump perhaps two feet of rain. is the hurricane heads in ships sail out. the us. navy moving away from the path of the storm. a similar message for communities in the caribbean. we are moving as many as possible. still there are many residents who are refusing to move and we send this final plea to them to kindly remove themselves to safer ground. the caribbean and the southern states are ready for the wind rain and storm surges to the region is

more than used to severe weather. all that is left now is to hang tight and be hopeful. a french racing driver, anthoine hubert, has been killed in a formula 2 crash at the belgian grand prix. hubert, who was 22, struck a barrier on one of the fastest sections of the track before being hit by another car. a statement by the motor racing authorities said that he later died at the nearby medical centre. anthoine hubert was a rising star of motor racing. a driver for the bwt arden team, hubert was the reigning gp3 champion, and part of renault f1's young driver programme — a sign of the frenchman's future promise and prowess. but at the belgian grand prix on one of the fastest sections of the course, hubert was involved in a fatal collision while racing at speeds of around 270km/h. in a statement, motorsport‘s governing body said, "as a result of the incident,

the fia regrets to inform "that the driver of car number 19, anthoine hubert, succumbed "to his injuries and passed away." motor racing is inherently dangerous, but safety has improved. the frenchman's death is the first driver fatality at a formula 1 race weekend since ayrton senna was killed in 1994. anthoine hubert‘s death has left motorsport shocked and saddened with numerous teams and drivers posting condolences on social media. a sport mourning the loss of one of its brightest stars. that was anthoine hubert, who has passed away at the age of 22. tens of thousands of people have held demonstrations across the uk, in protest at boris johnson's decision, to prorogue, or suspend parliament, for five weeks in the run up to brexit. the british government insists it's acting properly, but critics say it's an attempt to by—pass democracy. mark easton reports if you shut down our parliament...

chanting we will shut down the streets! calls for direct action from protesters outside downing street. several thousand people had gathered in whitehall, many to voice their opposition to borisjohnson's move to shut down parliament ahead of britain's scheduled exit from the european union on october 31. stop brexit! the crowds were diverse — cutting across class, age, ethnicity and traditional party politics. today's protest is a reminder of how arguments over brexit represent a reshaping of political discourse in britain. bankers and corporations who get richer while the workers get poorer. as well as london, there were similar demonstrations in towns and cities across the country, from yorkshire to belfast to bangor. in london, the apparent unity of the crowd disguised divisions over what they were opposed to. the government's suspension of parliament orjust the government?

0pposed to a no—deal brexit or leaving the eu at all? is this about proroguing? is it about brexit or conservatives? yeah, a bit of both, really. i mean, mainly proroguing and brexit, but a bit of both. are you a supporter of the european union? i am not in support of a bosses club, i am in support of the european workers of greece, spain and italy, but i don't support what is, in effect, a bosses club in europe. so, you're anti—eu? i am anti the european union, yes. i am opposed to a no—deal brexit. brexit with a deal would be ok? iwould prefer we remain, but i could live with a brexit with a decent deal, yes. you are a french national. why are you here today? why am i here today? because i am one of the eu 27 who has been living for decades here. it is about a no—deal brexit, it's about the hatred and it is about hindering democratic processes. deeply held feelings are on display

as thousands take to the streets. but it is worth reflecting on the people who are not here, people with equally passionate views on the other side of the brexit debate. public opinion and the country are riven as to what democracy should mean. this evening, there was disruption around westminster bridge. the organisers of today's demonstration say it should be seen as the beginning of a campaign of civil disobedience against the government's treatment of parliament. mark easton, bbc news, whitehall. stay with us on bbc world news. still to come: nearly two million people fear for their future and could be stripped of their citizenship as india targets illegal migrants. she received a nobel peace prize for her work with the poor and the dying in india's slums. the head of the catholic church said mother teresa was "a wonderful example of how to help people in need." we have to identify the bodies, then arrange the coffins and take them back home.

parents are waiting and wives are waiting. hostages appeared, some carried, some running, trying to escape the nightmare behind them. britain lost a princess today, described by all to whom she reached out as irreplaceable. an early morning car crash in a paris underpass ended a life with more than its share of pain and courage, warmth and compassion. this is bbc world news. the latest headlines: a mass shooting at two locations in texas has left at least five people dead and many more injured.

police have described the lone gunman as an ‘animal‘. there have been more violent clashes in hong kong between police and protesters after tens of thousands of people defied a ban to march through the city. let's get more now on hurricane dorian, which is due to make landfall in the bahamas in the next few hours. ben von kemplerer is a freelance photographer who has just arived in nassau and has a particular interest in covering hurricanes. i asked him why. for me, it was really a personal experience. in 2012, hurricane sandy impacted my community in newjersey and hit our family home there are, and it was coming out of that storm that i realised i could sort of play a role as a citizen photographer, getting images, getting video out, information out to help people understand the story. it is doing a job, as the mainstream media does in covering these stories. you can't be everywhere.

i am doing my small part to tell people what is going on. it's only a few hours away now. what's the mood like in nassau? it is sort of cautiously optimistic about areas in the immediate vicinity, but the locals that i talked to here, their thoughts immediately turn to what is about to happen in the bahamas, freeport, the islands, a couple of people have family there and they did seem to be genuinely concerned about what may happen in the hours to come in those areas immediately to the north of us. i guess you are pretty experienced shooting this footage by now, but is a part of you not pretty scared for your own safety? you have to be scared, you have to respect these storms. this will be the fifth hurricane that i have documented. you have to have appreciation for how every storm different. this one was particularly psychologically

challenging as it approached — it was a tropical storm that was affected to escalate to a category one and go back down to a tropical storm. obviously we know there was rapid intensification, there was a shift in the track, so this one was very hard to get your mind around as it approached the area. but absolutely, you can't just charge into these situations, you have to have your eyes wide open and be very sure to manage the risk appropriately. what precautions have you seen people taking ahead of this storm? here, immediately around me, you saw staff at the hotel where i am staying moving assets off the beach, tidying things up, getting things ready. but for some, you do see life going on as normal. there is traffic on the roadway, there are some vacationers here pressing on with their holiday, but it did hit home for me, flying in from new york saturday afternoon reallyjust a few hours

ago, the captain said there was only 20 passengers on the plane and there were rows and rows of empty seats. he addressed us and said, "we all know what is about to happen" and hoped that we would safe and said he hoped we brought our umbrellas. obviously it is a very serious story but you can find little moments like that creeping in. nearly 2 million people in the indian state of assam have effectively been stripped of their citizenship after being left off a newly published register of indian nationals. residents were asked to prove they had lived there since 1971 when neighbouring bangladesh declared its independence from pakistan. it's home to around 10 million muslims, many of whom are suspected by india's hindu nationalist government of being illegal migrants. 0ur delhi correspondent rajini vaidya nathan reports from assam. lining up to find out if they still belong in the country they call home. if they are not on this list, they are not considered citizens, their fate decided

by a paper printout. none of asiya khatoon's family of nine has been included. "i'm an indian citizen. i should be on it," she says. it's the same for salma. "what do i do? "i'd rather die than go to a detention camp." best known for its tea, assam is one of india's poorest states. resentment towards illegal immigrants from neighbouring bangladesh runs high, which is why everyone's been asked to prove their citizenship, and that's left many terrified. one evening last november, maliha went to look for her husband, shamshul, after he did not return from a walk. she found him here, in this paddy field. she sobs. maliha said shamshul killed himself, fearing his family wouldn't make the citizenship list. "0n ourland, they are like termites."

that's amit shah, now india's home minister, describing illegal immigrants earlier this year. his party, the ruling hindu nationalist bjp, is pledging to expand the assam—style crackdown across india, promising amnesty for illegal immigrants from neighbouring countries, of most religions except muslims. india is the only land for the hindus. that is why our government is very much determined to protect the hindus who came from pakistan, who came from bangladesh due to the religious persecutions. critics believe this citizenship exercise is nothing more than a drive to remove muslims from india. translation: they are trying to make india a hindu state and curtail the rights of muslims. that's why we are scared. what now for the nearly two million people here in assam who have been left disenfranchised?

if they lose their appeals and are declared foreigners, then what? there aren't enough detention centres to house them all, and if they are deported, then where to? bangladesh has already said it won't take anyone. the fate of millions remains in the balance. what started as an exercise over identity could become a crisis of humanity. rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news, assam. more than 60 people have been detained after several migrant boats were intercepted in the english channel. it comes a day after the british home secretary said urgent action was needed to stem the flow of illegal immigrants. so far this year, more than 1,000 illegal migrants have been detained. tony smith is a former head of the uk border force. it's relatively new that we've seen this sort of number of migrants crossing the english channel. it only really began in any number

in october last year, but it's now an almost daily occurrence, isn't it, that we are seeing reports of significant numbers of people, many women and children as well in small vessels coming across, and increasing resource requirement upon the french authorities and ourselves, the border force, to make sure that they don't drown, we have had a couple of drownings, that they are properly treated and obviously brought ashore and then we have the ongoing issue of processing them. this is international organised crime essentially, and, therefore, it is essential that we continue to work with law enforcement agencies, both in france and in other countries, as we have done for many years now to share intelligence, share interventions capability, share resources and work together. because nobody really wants people drowning, nobody really wants human smugglers to succeed, whether you are on the french side, the eu side or the uk side. so i think that we really need

to make sure that whatever happens along the way, we maintain that sort of international collaboration that's been there in the past. that was tony smith, the former head of the uk border force. early morning events are being held in poland to mark the moment when the second world war began exactly 80 years ago. the polish and german presidents are in the town of wielun to lead the commemorations. the town was the first to suffer aerial bombardment during the war. much of wielun was flattened by the german air force despite the fact that it had no military targets. a number of other world leaders are due to attend the ceremonies in poland. police officers in the amazon have been involved in a shoot—out with suspected loggers as brazilian authorities step up security operations to control wildfires. officials say that on the first day of the ban, thousands of new fires were lit, most of them in the amazon basin. james ra nsley reports. dramatic footage of armed police in a shoot—out with suspected loggers.

they duck for cover, unable to see the shooters hiding behind the trees. tensions are running high in the amazon as wildfires continue to ravage parts of the world's largest ra i nforest. translation: federal police found an illegal operation in the altamira region, in an area of about two hectares. no—one was injured and no—one was arrested, but police destroyed equipment thought to belong to the loggers. presidentjair bolsonaro says his government is cracking down on illegal deforestation and has agreed to accept funding from countries like the uk and the us to help fight the fires. but his public feud with french president emmanuel macron, who he claims insulted him, continues. he says accepting any support from paris would come with conditions. translation: i am ready to talk with some people except our dear macron, unless he apologises about our sovereignty over the amazon. then i will talk to him.

after meeting president trump in washington, brazil's foreign minister said the support it's receiving from countries like the us is helping. we are welcoming specific operation to fight the fires from a few countries. we are receiving that from a few countries. they are helpful. brazil is also undertaking the main task because we are able to and we are already successful, they show the fires are being extinguished. even so, brazilian police remain on high alert. the stand—off sending a clear message to authorities that some are willing to fight to the death for their patch of the amazon. finally, ellie goulding has married in front of famous guests and royalty at york cathedral. the 32—year—old singer got engaged to art dealer casparjopling last year and was greeted by cheers from the crowd. she arrived in a blue volkswagen campervan, wearing a bespoke chloe dress. the guest list included katy perry and orlando bloom.

amongst the royals attending the wedding was princess beatrice. that is about it. thank you for watching. hello there. sunday is the first day of meteorological autumn. and for the early days of september, it is going to feel a little on the chilly side. we have got this band of cloud that swept across the country yesterday. it's behind that that we're drawing in this cooler, fresher air on a north—westerly breeze and that is going to bring some more showers, particularly across northern ireland and scotland overnight. but in between those showers, there is still a chance of catching the northern lights for northern areas. it's further south across the uk that will have some longer, clearer skies. with that cooler air coming down, temperatures will be dropping away. it will be chillier than it was last night. 7—9 degrees in towns and cities. cooler than that, though, in rural areas. a sunny start, though,

for many parts of england and wales. scattered showers for a while in northern ireland, some heavier thundery ones pushing eastwards across scotland, across northern england and down towards the wash. very few showers for the midlands, good chance it will stay dry in southern england. temperatures may sneak up to 20 degrees. but further north with those showers, it is a cool 15 or 16, but at least it will not be as windy on sunday. those heavy showers should clear away from eastern areas. we've got another band of cloud and showers pushing through northern ireland and heading towards scotland. but some breaks in the cloud overnight and, again, another chilly one actually, particularly in north—eastern scotland where temperatures could be down to about 3 degrees or so. into the new week, and we are going to replace the north—westerly winds with some milder, cloudier west—south—westerly winds. around the top area of that high pressure and feeding in those weather systems, piling in the rain again for north—western areas. england and wales, probably a dry start, chilly, some sunshine, tending to cloud over a bit more from the west. we have got some rain coming

into northern ireland, pushing into scotland, into cumbria, some very wet weather actually over the hills later in the day. 15 degrees in glasgow, 22 in london and the south—east. so, a touch warmer i think on monday. similar sort of weather pattern really through monday into tuesday, we've still got these brisk winds off the atlantic, a lot of weather fronts on the scene, but essentially, it's northern and western areas that are going to have most of the cloud. a better chance of catching some rain and that rain could be heavy again over some western parts of scotland. very little if any rain, though, through the midlands, towards east anglia and the south—east and temperatures similar to those of monday. as we head towards the middle of the week, though, the wind direction will change again with high pressure to the west of the uk. we'll draw down cooler, fresher more north—westerly winds, bringing sunshine and some showers.
